U.S. school district to begin microchipping students

If this happens, socialism isn't far.
We can let the government have cameras at school because they're part of public property, but students have a freedom to have what they want to have in their schoolbags and what they do while walking to the restrooms.

haha a stick in your bag. what kid would actually abide by this. i mean they try selling car trackers to parents for their teenagers. or even the built in microchip you could have put into the back of your pet`s neck.. this makes me sick

children have no rights in so far as they are the property of their creators... If the parents have no problems with these measures than there should be no issue. It keeps their children where they are supposed to be, by thinking they are being monitored all the time per the Hawthorne effect. It makes sense, and as much as I would love there to be a RESISTANCE OF AMERICANS, it can't happen, unless you already live in an off-the-grid house and plant all of your own food. Deal with it, NWO is here & if this pilot program takes off, all over the states will this happen to all of our children.

As for Resistance, there is no reason why any student couldn't simply get a new bag and forget to switch the chip... who the heck cares if this works or not, either way it is a step towards a nation where freedom means complete control by the gov't. and voters can't do a damn thing to stop that because we don't actually vote on the measures that control the public, unless of course you are a member of Congress. WHO IS?!?!

suck it civilians & take it deep!

Did the new York times say this??? Info wars is not credible looks like propaganda?? I mean CNN has put the chips in peoples hand which work in DC....so why wouldnt they also do a story on this???

I believe it when I see it or it comes from a credible source.

why is this site being flooded with this crap??

Colnial Zombie I smell trolling.

We're fucked. Rumor has it, when the end of times is coming, which only the Father knows, an antichrist will appear. He will be welcomed by the masses, and he will hold power through fear. Everyone will have the mark of the beast, for if you do not you will not be able to buy or sell anything, because the Antichrist will be in charge of the markets. These microchips are the mark of the beast. This isn't a matter of if these RFIDs will be used, its when, and apparently the time is now. I hope, I really do hope, that people will be able to overcome this shit. Is it too late?

ha ha ha....

WHAT? Has everyone lost their freaking minds? I understand that in this country, with all the crap kids can get into nowadays, and all the crazies and sickos out their you could get a little overprotective, but seriously, is it so bad that you need to limit your kids freedom to this extent? You're hanging them with leashes. If you give them no choice in the matter, and you come off so distrusting, you'll only have angry, rebellious kids in a country where you can find trouble in even the most tranquil corners. This is action will have consequences and you'll see them biting before you even do it. Take ethanol for example. Used it for a good cause (saving the environment, lowering gas prices, yadayada) but in no time flat you saw food prices skyrocket, loss of land resources in providing areas, more energy in producing ethanol, and raising gas prices. I'll be the first to say I told you so. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and what your gonna get is a whole lot of it.

reading this story makes me worried about the fabric america was bulit on.
this idea of microchipping children, id's, passport posses an ethical question, one of which the people of america need to ask themselves-How much are we willing to give up for "freedom"? (that makes the topic of freedom in america a question in itself. ) how much of this repressing controlling spying governement are will really going to tollerate?
a new understanding is needed, no more blind- led like sheep. spoon-fed news.
what the american people need is a movement on the basis of education.
educating ourselfs/each other on what is really happening around us.

and it begins... next step? imbedding into the skin. i wonder what "reasons" they will use for that...

this is one of the worst privacy violations to date...

Lets stop kidding ourselves, the Orwellian World is not creeping upon us anymore its here already and stay it shall. Electronic tagging of criminals, the demand of DNA from law abiding citizenry for just being in the vicinity of alleged crime. And proposals to obtain DNA from new born at birth. All in a bid they'll tell us to further protect us from the boogey Man that seems to lurk in every conceivable space.

O.O

im scared.
im pissed.
i need to find a new planet.

can they find nothing else to do??, like i dont know..... something that matters!!!!

I can see it now! Trading school bags. Deliberatly leaving in them places where they shouldn't be.
With just a little bit of imagination, kid could have a good time screwing with the powers that be.

Yep...it's a New World Order. It's for their safety!
I believe it was Ben Franklin that said something like...
Those that surrender freedom for security, deserve neither freedom nor security.

Fight the good fight.

Welcome to the New World Order!
Leave your freedom and sense of humanity behind

Kinda funny, and a little ironic, considering they used to coil my former highschool with the nickname jailhouse. But this here is ridiculous. Microchipping students to figure out thier where abouts. I thought my highschool was strict, come on.

Before anyone gets too upset, you need to think about how the system actually works. The infrastructure does not exist to keep tabs on the bags at all times. There is not a supergrid of RFID readers out in the general public to track all of the tags, nor to interpret the numerical data!

The chips can only be read within a short distance of the reader anyway. Most likely the tags are considered passive, and are only capable of transmitting the 'identification number' when it is powered by the reader itself.

And let's be realistic...it is tracking the bag, not the child. Who's to say that children won't accidentally or purposefully trade bags with someone else? Quite frankly, I don't see this as being anything different than a timestamp for the time a bag gets on or off a bus. Think of the individuals that use RFID technology to go into or leave secured buildings? Is it any different? You don't necessarily know who is holding the RFID key...just that someone is able to enter.

I wouldn't get riled up over this...the U.S. has to many other things to take care of before they even think about setting up RFID readers all over the place.

what happened to just being a good parent?

This is too instrusive and should only be used for law enforcement.

I don't see why this would be necessary but I could also see that this would help. It's not much of an invasion of privacy, it's just tracking WHERE the person is. Not WHAT they are doing. I mean, if your kid is ditching school or something like that, it would be helpful to know. Also if a bag does get lost it would be easy to locate. I don't think this is necessary at all though, put your money/effort elsewhere!

The government watching our every move is so scary. Starting to track children now will normalize it for their generation and future more extensive tracking systems will be met with little resistence.

But big brother aside, how are we raising our children today? Tracking their every move, proving to them that we don't trust them to make the right decisions. Or are we feeding them garbage that danger is waiting at every bus stop? I feel like we are ruining the younger generations by not letting them experience life on their own.

Any parent that lets the school do this to their children should have to have one put in them by the government so they can watch what they are doing at all times. See how the parents feel about the program then.

Not my kids, not ever.

i completely agree with the ACLU. there is no way i would let the school district put any device on my child

this is such an emotional issue. im torn! if the parents dont have an issue with the their children having the chip fine.the children should have a choice 2 do they want to carry the bag or not. i also think it would be a good way to monitor children when they are on outings away from the school. give them the chip when they r out take it off when they get back 2 school. i c the good and the bad. if my grandson was on an outing with his class i would want him 2 have the chip, the world is full of crazy people just looking 4 children 2 hurt.

security, security, security....just wait until the wrong person gets a hold of little johnny's RFID info. Won't the hackers have fun with this! Schools already can't control their network security which kids hack regularly. How do they plan on guaranteeing security for this program? Hope they have good liability insurance.

I actually yelled out when I read this. Well when I saw the headline. Then I gasped when I read the article.

Horrible. Don't they have those phones that can GPS the kid. If you are gonna invade the kids privacy then do it with a freakin phone. But dont MICROCHIP your kid. thats involuntary. Wow. I'd lose my backpack. A lot. on purpose. sad sad sad

With all this money that was spent on this paranoid technology those students could have had better teachers.

Everyone here has probably seen the movie enemy of the state which is probably close to ten years old now add minority report and you have the world that will be a reality in the us if it is not already here especially in the larger cities.so what do we do turn the clock back sixty years or does the American citizen get access to the trackers where we can remove these tags ourselves

I'm afraid George Orwell should have titled his book "2012."

This is all the information I would need to pull my child out of school. Schools don't have money for books but they have funds for this? This is absurd and a violation of civil liberties. I hope they rethink this and parents fight it.

I'd like to know what all of you infowar-NWO kids who are just so smart and who 'saw this coming', doing to oppose this? Civil disobedience? Nah, more like just complaining on the internet then getting back to your Warcrafts.

Admittedly, You are right about one thing; people are too dumb and lazy to do anything and stand up for themselves. You people are the perfect examples of this.

Next thing, they'll be implanting infants with tracking chips at birth. Just save the confusion later.

I think this story is total Bull-crap. I checked further into and did not find any credible sources to back this up. Good job Current News for having this get onto T.V. without first checking to see if it is even true.

i strongly advise every kid in rhode island to tell the "authorities" to go f*** themselves.

I may take an unpopular stance here, but being a parent in these times is not the wonderous joy as it were back in the days of ourselves or our parents for that matter. Gone are the days of neighbors helping to raise a child. It saddens me that I cant let my daughters walk alone JUST DOWN TO THE END OF THE STREET!!!. With all the kidnappins and rapes and amber alertsgoing off at an astounding rate daily, I have reverted to fight in my own way by using GPS tracking of my daughters. Am I being overprotective.....YEP! Do I think it sucks to have to do this? HELL YEAH! Am I gonna stop.....DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!

This is such total bullshit. If I was a parent of these children I would throw an absolute fit and likely sue for invasion of privacy.

i cant wait till there's a chip that can like read ur blood, and they implant it in kids, so if a kid (oh god forbid they commit to the devil-worship) like smokes or drinks, FBI agents storm in. i smell a long movie about the gov't or such controlling people - again.

The best part would be when some smartass kid starts messing with their system.

read spychips by Katherine Albrecht if want the real scoop

it seems that kids growing up today are most definitely not growing up like i did in the 80's.

this country is going to shit. And yet, the american people are accepting this. :/ I'm leaving this country soon..

GO BROWN. im deff on his page.

but wtf. if this spreads or even begins to take place in the US im deff getting my future children home schooled! or moving out of the country. what a holes to think of such a ridiculous thing. SKIPPING SCHOOL is part of being young haha. they want to ruin that fun too on top of taking regular coke products from vending machines?...haha, America...can someone say control freaks?

THANK YOU!!! Even *I* opposed REAL ID knowing full well that it was Big Brother. Credible or not, True or not the idea of chipping people has been passed around before and it will be again. It remains to be seen how seriously it is taken by Congress...

Colonial Zombie why don't you engage in a real conversation in this thread instead of criticizing the sources in which you have no idea are credible or not. You act like you personally know the news team at naturalnews.com, or the author David Gutierrez, and you can dismiss them as not credible at a whim. Get a life and get off this thread.

Time for some fact checking...

or you just don't take your bag with you everywhere

Sure it starts innocent enough with keeping track of where children are on and off of buses and the like, but who knows where this technology could take us from here. Personally big brother needs to stay the fuck away from my right to privacy. It's cool that we have the technology to do this sort of thing but lets not and say we did.

I know they're children, but I have to agree. It's totally big brother.

"...Middletown School District, in partnership with MAP Information Technology Corp., ..." It's another way that corporations can take money out of schools instead of teaching them.

COLONIAL ZOMBIE,

If you read the article on prisonplanet, you would see the link to the source story here - http://www.naturalnews.com/023445.html . Did you know that the author, David Gutierrez of www.naturalnews.com can be sued by the company he implicated in the article in question, MAP Information Technology Corp. if the information he provided was indeed false? See, YOU can say anything you want, because that's your opinion. HE can't, he's a journalist, and he's not writing an editorial.

this is only the beginning....

It's indoctrination into the world the will live in in the future. Wikipedia Real ID act. Wake up man. It's about time. That was in 2005.

decarson you obviously need to do your research. Every Republican presisdent since calvin coolidge attened the Bohemian Grove. Here, this is what it is .
THEY make the policy decisions, Both the Neo-Con's and the self-proclaimed liberals in the media. They have for a long time.

Another waste of time and money... So what if we know where all 7 billion of us are... We call it earth!

what I don't understand is why the school district feels that this is a good idea. Granted its only 80 kids but still, what information could possibly be gained from this program?

Welcome to the New World Order where everything you say and do will be tracked and recorded. This is more of what liberal Nazis want. They want to control you, your movements, your thoughts, your words. It's all part of the neo-socialist movement. This is how they will kill capitalism and turn the USA into the USSA -- United Socialist States of America. And George Soros will be Big Brother. He's a socialist and America doesn't need him or his stupid socialist plan. America is the land of the free but is moving rapidly toward a nation of economic slaves. There is a new civil war coming and it won't be racial -- it's going to be between patriotic America-loving, capitalist, conservatives and America-hating, bong-smoking, tree-hugging, socialist, lazy liberals.

people need to wake up

we are going to be total slaves

The Real Id Act was signed by pres. Bush in 2005. The same year the government (FDA) approved the verichip for human use. Anyone who has watched any youtube videos about it or has done their own research knows what i'm talking about. It's not a forgotten subject, although the corporate controlled media, with the exception of Fox News who promotes it, declines to talk about it. To be quite honest, the only place you will see unfiltered and undoctored news coverage over such an important issue is current.

Wow. I’m dumfounded, they say we have freedom, but what kind of freedom involves children getting RFID chips so that the so called parents can monitor them better. You say freedom, I say this is just one big jail.

Holy fucking shit they already started!!! Fuck people, we only have a few years before this is a standard part of American life. Once this happens, they will control the world. People we need to step and do against this? Once they put this in everyone of us, they will kill anyone who speaks against the government. Game over people, time to get out of here while we can.

My cats are microchipped because I am responsible for them if they get lost. Maybe that's the rationale behind putting chips in kids' schoolbags. Whatever, we need to make a law to outlaw the chipping of human beings. Wear an ID bracelet if you're senile. This is the one instance where I would definitely say NEVER.

Serves the stupid children right.

But even so....this is a bad idea.

The only chip I do comes in a bag. They'll have to kill me before they go putting shit in my body. Seriously, fuck that.

Unless, of course, they already have without me knowing.
Hmmm. Dead.

hahahaha

first chip your pets so you don't loose them

then chip your car so no one steals it

chip your senile aunt sally so she doesn't run off

chip your passport to prove you're not a terrorist

chip your products and packaging for better tracking and better products

chip your kids to make sure they don't skip class

.....

....how lazy do you have to be to not teach your kids the pros and cons of going to school. it's ridiculous.

Honestly, what does everyone think about chipping politicians? Sex offenders? Murderers?

i heard these chips cause cancer so much one chip company went bankrupt. also this chip idea sounds more liberal than conservative.

I say the pilot program should consist of all FDA employees. If they see this being a good thing, they shouldn't mind being implanted.

While we're at it, why don't we implant all those who "represent" us in government.

These are the people we need to keep track of.....

just another example a big government out of controol

The story is all over the internet man, just not on prisonplanet.

http://www.naturalnews.com/023445.html

google it

The guy cites his sources, everything is transparent, he even lists the company and the school district involved. So before you try to discredit a story, do the research.

And since you're obviously afriad of "upsetting" Big Brother, I don't think I want to talk to you. Don't try to contact me either. And a foreign proxy won't keep the government from spying on me, my isp stores my browsing history in it's servers and gives my accumulated information to the Federal Government on Request. And as of this week, the telecomm companies have immunity so wtf can I do.

Ah.

And so the raise of resistance comes.
